Amplify Matter and Energy Review

Will has an aquarium with water, plants, and fish that eat the plants. It is sealed so no material can get in or out, and has glass sides that allow sunlight to come in. The aquarium can also be covered to prevent light from entering. The amount of carbon in the aquarium’s water started out high. Now, the amount of carbon in the water is decreasing. Is the aquarium now in sunlight or is it covered? What is happening to the number of energy storage molecules in the plants and fish as a result?

• The aquarium is now in sunlight, and there are more energy storage molecules in the plants and fish.

• The aquarium is now in sunlight, and there are fewer energy storage molecules in the plants and fish.

• The aquarium is now covered so no light can get in, and there are more energy storage molecules in the plants and fish.

• The aquarium is now covered so no light can get in, and there are fewer energy storage molecules in the plants and fish.

A herd of deer lives in a forest where they eat the leaves of trees. The number of energy storage molecules in the trees and in the deer has increased. What has happened to the amount of carbon in the trees and in the deer?

            The amount of carbon in the trees and in the deer . . .

• has increased.

• has decreased.

• has not changed.

• is not related to the number of energy storage molecules.

This sea grass has had the sun shining on it for most of the day. What can the sea grass do because it is in sunlight? What does this mean for the number of energy storage molecules in the sea grass?

• take in carbon from the air. The carbon is used to break down energy storage molecules.

• take in carbon from the air. The carbon is used to make energy storage molecules.

• give off carbon to the air. Giving off carbon allows the sea grass to make energy storage molecules.

• give off carbon to the air. Giving off carbon uses up energy storage molecules.

Lily has an aquarium with water, plants, and fish that eat the plants. The aquarium is sealed so no material can get in or out, and has glass sides that allow light to come in. The aquarium can also be covered to prevent light from entering. The number of energy storage molecules in the plants and fish started out low, but that number has been increasing over time. Has the aquarium been in sunlight or has it been covered during this time? What has happened to the carbon in the water?

• The aquarium has been covered so no light gets in, and there is less carbon in the water.

• The aquarium has been covered so no light gets in, and there is more carbon in the water.

• The aquarium has been in sunlight, and there is more carbon in the water.

• The aquarium has been in sunlight, and there is less carbon in the water.

A scientist set up an experimental ecosystem in a sealed room with no windows. The experimental ecosystem has plants and animals that eat those plants. The scientist can control whether the room is light or dark with a light switch outside the room. The amount of carbon in the air of the ecosystem started out low. Then the amount of carbon in the air started to increase. Is the increase because the scientist switched the light on or because she switched the light off? What happened to the number of energy storage molecules in the living things?

• switched the light off, and the number of energy storage molecules in the living things decreased.

• switched the light off, and the number of energy storage molecules in the living things increased.

• switched the light on, and the number of energy storage molecules in the living things increased.

• switched the light on, and the number of energy storage molecules in the living things decreased.

If the kelp is in the sun for several hours, what does this mean for the amount of ESM's in the kelp?

• Nothing. Kelp is just a plant.

• The carbon that is absorbed is used to break down ESM's.

• The ESM's die off.

• The carbon that is absorbed is used to make ESM's.

If a forest full of trees is in the sunlight, what is happening to the number of energy storage molecules in the trees?

• The number of energy storage molecules is decreasing.

• The number of energy storage molecules is staying the same.

• The number of energy storage molecules is increasing.

• This doesn't matter.
